Dear sir,
I am sorry to trouble you so often on account Mr Dixon, and hope the enclosed will put an end to his applications. If the blanks are filed and duly certified agreeably to your directions, he will undoubtedly soon receive from you a new certificate by which he can receive the pension now in the hands of the Pension Agent here, but will not be paid to him until he produces said new certificate.
Philip Alexander's claim to a restoration, I hope also will be soon heard from, if the Secretary has leisure to examine his papers.
I am respectfully sir

I inclose you a letter &c. which I have just received. I recollect some of the circumstances relating to the application of S er d Dixon which are enumerated - And altho' I have no recollection of having received from you his papers in 1821. Yet I am certain if I did receive them I forwarded them either to him, or to the person applying to me - Having unfortunately lost the book in which I kept a minute of all the business committed to me, and how I had disposed of the papers &c. I am unable to ascertain to whom they were sent - I have them not - nor do I ever keep such business any considerable time - but transmit them & then forget them altogether - Perhaps you can furnish him with a new certificate, as I presume all the papers necessary to obtain his pension must be in your office - and if so I request that you will do it & oblige, Yours very respectfully
